Very rare 1971 Karmann Ghia
Before I start describing this beautiful Karmann Ghia, let me just say that of all the cars I ever owned including a great 911 Porsche 4S, this Karmann Ghia has been the most fun drive I ever owned. Every time I take it out on the road, I get at least 5 people shouting "great car" or giving me thumbs up or just commenting on the car when I am parking it. It seems everyone have their own Karmann Ghia story, used to own one or knows someone who did. What I'm trying to say, this car turns heads and gets a lot of very cool attention. The car runs great and could become your daily drive. I used it about once a week when I go to play golf. It has a really good mpg mileage - I am always surprised how little gas this consumes. All the controls on the dashboard work except for the clock. Radio and CD work well. Engine runs great. Comes with a fire extinguisher. The car has minor rust in a few places, pretty much what you'd expect of a car that's over 40 years old. I have recently had a new layer of undercoat done to protect the car from rusting, also it has new breaks. The odometer stopped working, currently shows 31,368 miles. I invite you to contact me with regards to any questions you may have about this auction. Also, if I missed any angle on the photos, please let me know and I will take additional pictures. Winning bidder has 24 hours to send $500 through Paypal and seven days to pay the balance - cash or cashier's check accepted. The car is based on Maui in Hawaii. The winning bidder will need to arrange their own shipping but I will help with delivering it to the port. The easiest way is to put it inside a container and ship to the Los Angeles or San Francisco area (usually around $1000). In case the winning bid exceeds $17,500 I will cover the shipping costs to a port in continental U.S. or Japan. This vehicle is sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied themselves as to the condition of the vehicle. Please be sure you have the funding ready when bidding. I have a clean title. I want to thank you for viewing my auction and wish you good luck bidding. I truly hope this car finds a great new home. In a few years, it will become a classic worth a lot more.... |

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
2015 Volkswagen Touareg [w/video]
Fri, Dec 5 2014The second-generation Volkswagen Touareg has been in production since 2010, and is therefore staring down the last part of its model cycle. To keep buyers interested, the company has undertaken a refresh of its upscale midsize SUV. As is typical of these things, the changes include some exterior and interior rejuvenation, as well as increased content levels and a slight uptick in price. The basics of the styling changes are pretty straightforward. The 2015 Touareg can be pretty easily spotted versus the outgoing model by way of its four-bar chrome grille, a cleaner headlight design, bigger VW badge and a completely new lower front clip. (I got one photo of the old and new models side-by-side for my Twitter followers before we rolled out on the drive.) There's also a thin strip of chrome that runs around the bodywork, standard LED taillights and a selection of three new wheel styles and five new paint colors. Inside, I found it harder to spot the changes, old to new. The Touareg's switchgear has been updated and there's a new frame for the infotainment display, but there's no piece that stands out and says "new model year!" Powertrains and mechanical bits all carryover from the 2014 Touareg, too. But there were a few functional changes to the vehicle, primarily in the new Driver's Assistance Package, for me to take note of as I took a lap of my favorite Ann Arbor, MI driving route. Drive Notes Let me start with the newest news then, the Driver Assistance pack. Volkswagen will sell you this suite of safety gear on either the mid-level Lux or the top-end Executive trims, for $2,500. The package included adaptive cruse cruise control, "Front Assist" for emergency braking situations, lane-keep assist and blind spot monitoring. If the contents of that package don't strike you as revolutionary, you're not alone. Some or all of the technologies that are new to the Touareg have been around other showrooms – and other VW family products – for quite a while. Still, they're nice to have as options. All of the driver assistance features that I was able to test worked as advertised, too. The adaptive cruise uses cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors, so it isn't likely to be impacted by inclement weather, which is nice. I also appreciate that the lane-keep assist (which offers the driver a haptic buzz to the steering wheel when straying out of the lane) can be turned off, or turned down in terms of intensity and reaction time.
